Francois the Faberge Egg Pet for One Million Gold

Battle for Azeroth build 26734 adds an expensive battle pet - Francois for one million gold. Don't forget that there's also a mount for 5 million gold in the expansion!\r\rFrancois is located by the fancy 15th Annual Norwington Equestrian and Hunt Festival. \r\r\r\rIf you talk to the chicken with less than 1 million gold, you receive this message:\r\r\rWhen you have over 1 million gold in your inventory, the chicken is nicer:\r\r\rTalk to him again and you'll receive the Uovo di Fabergé!\r\r\rThe chicken is now interested in your wealth:\r\r\rFrancois may be snooty, but at least the chicken allows you to keep your gold. You don't need to spend 1 million gold for this pet, simply have it in your inventory!\r\r\r\r\rThis egg is a reference to the House of Faberge Easter Eggs. These lavish bejeweled eggs contained whimsical gifts inside and the first known egg contained a gold hen:\r\rThe first Faberg\u00e9 egg was crafted for Tsar Alexander III, who had decided to give his wife, the Empress Maria Fedorovna, an Easter egg in 1885, possibly to celebrate the 20th anniversary of their betrothal. Although there is no official record of the Tsar's inspiration for it, many believe that he was moved by an egg owned by the Empress\u2019s aunt, Princess Vilhelmine Marie of Denmark, which had captivated Maria\u2019s imagination in her childhood and of which the Tsar was well aware. Known as the Hen Egg, the very first Faberg\u00e9 egg is crafted from a foundation of gold. Its opaque white enameled "shell" opens to reveal a matte yellow-gold yolk. This in turn opens to reveal a multicolored gold hen that also opens. The hen contained a minute diamond replica of the imperial crown from which a small ruby pendant was suspended, but these last two elements have been lost.\r\rThe pet's flavor text also reflects the turn-of-the-century politics and social situation: "Francois, a pompous member of the bockgeoisie, whose wealth and influence was born from the exploitation and labor of the peckletariat."\r\rImage from the House of Faberge website:\r\r\rThanks to Flora for discovering how to acquire this pet and sharing the information with Wowhead!

So it doesn't cost 1 mil, we just need to have 1 mil. Whew! I can handle that.

Does it actually cost 1 million gold? or do you just need 1 million? The post says " for one million gold" but then it says all you need is to have 1 million gold.The post at start implies that you spend the 1 million, but then the rest of the post implies it joins you because you have 1 million, but doesent cost it.

That chicken looks like a cross between a Silkie and a Sultan. Pretty cool. \r\rhttps:\/\/www.mypetchicken.com\/catalog\/Day-Old-Baby-Chicks\/Day-Old-Chicks-White-Sultan-p576.aspx \rhttps:\/\/www.mypetchicken.com\/catalog\/Day-Old-Baby-Chicks\/Day-Old-Chicks-Silkie-Bantam-Assortment-p681.aspx

Is Francois friendly to the Horde, or do you need to have the gold on an Alliance character?

Selling mounts for increasingly ridiculous amounts of gold is not going to solve the inflation problem and only prices out dedicated mount collectors who don\u2019t play the gold game. C\u2019mon Blizzard, please stop doing this.

Well I guess anything will help with gold inflation\r\rInflation has always been a thing since the beginning and always will be, its in everyones best interest (especially new players).\r\rThe only people who doesnt benefit from inflation is people who hoard gold, though it can be a big benefit for them if they spend their gold and hoard items instead.\r\rIt makes it so a new player doesnt suddenly fall behind on gold because they would need to aquire x+ expansions worth of gold to be relevent. 5k mount in vanilla was a huge feat, a new player can now get that in an hour. 20k mammoth was alot of gold WOTLK but very easily attainable now. 5m might be alot of gold for the bronto mount now but in a couple of expansions it will be very easily obtainable.

Who cares about some dumb chicken pet? I have a million pets and never use them, mostly because I forget I even have them. I certainly don't do pet battles, which is probably the dumbest feature ever added to WoW.

To give a personal opinion you could have chose IMO, I personally, for me, I don't or many other choices.
